Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 505

Since she was unable to stand the man’s gaze any longer, Heather asked without mincing her words, “Has Grandpa been here today?” She felt she was too unlucky—why would she run into this annoying guy by mischance?

The golf course manager shook his head. “I didn’t see Old Master Langston today.”

Heather stared right into the depths of the golf course manager’s eyes. After a long time, she said frostily, “You’re lying.”

Perhaps she shouldn’t expose his lies so directly, but Heather decided to take a gamble. The golf course manager was obviously lying; if Robert had never been here, why hadn’t Blake come out after going inside for such a long time? There must be a plot behind this.

Heather tried hard to recall if the Langston Family had offended anyone lately, but she couldn’t think of anyone after racking her brains. Someone had to be plotting against the Langston Family, or such a fishy thing wouldn’t have happened. Besides, she could feel Robert’s presence here. Heather was a very sensitive person, and she believed in her sixth sense. As she clutched her cell phone tightly in her hands, she regretted not calling the police. Now, it would probably be difficult for her to find an opportunity to do so.

However, the man laughed instead of blowing up when he heard how categorical Heather sounded. “Old Master Langston has indeed been here, but he has left long ago. I’m just joking with you.”

As she looked at the man’s flippant expression, Heather replied in disgust, “Do you think that I was born yesterday? Just admit it if Grandpa has been here. Why are you joking with me?” She had a wrong impression that this man was still treating her like a kid. He also behaved in such a weird manner at that time, so she just knew that he wasn’t a good person. Had she known it earlier, she would’ve blown his cover directly in front of Robert. Even more so, she had a feeling that Robert’s disappearance must have had something to do with the man before her eyes. Thus, she glowered at the golf course manager and asked, “Where the hell is Grandpa?”

The golf course manager grinned before he burst out laughing again. “Old Master Langston has already left. Is there a misunderstanding between us?” However, his laugh seemed like a provocative gesture in Heather’s eyes.

“Don’t brush me off with this. I’ll never let you off if something happens to Grandpa.” Heather summoned up her strength as she planned to subdue this man directly. Even though there was a feeling of disgust and a lingering childhood fear within her, she believed that she had no problem tackling this man with her ability.

The smile on the golf course manager’s face finally vanished. “Calm down, Miss Langston. Old Master Langston has really left this place,” he said with an anxious expression; it seemed like he was afraid that Heather would misunderstand him.

Heather didn’t believe him, though. Why would he have such a perverted look on his face at the beginning if he was afraid of being misunderstood by me? she thought to herself. She took out her cell phone right away, but to her great shock, she couldn’t get a cell phone reception at all. After looking at her cell phone in disbelief, she looked at the man with her widened eyes full of anger. “What trick did you pull? Why isn’t there a cell phone reception?” Unwilling to reconcile herself to this, she switched off her cell phone and turned it back on, and her suspicions slowly became clear.

“Some mobile phone jammers have been installed in our golf course to serve our guests better—that way, they can concentrate on playing golf,” the golf course manager hurriedly explained as he panicked somewhat. Heather looked much more intimidating than she had been when she was a child, and it frightened him thoroughly.

“That’s bullsh*t. There can’t be such a place. Those who play golf here are either wealthy or influential. What would happen when their cell phone signal is jammed? Can your golf course take responsibility for the consequences?” Heather asked while pointing at the golf course manager. She firmly believed that he was a bad guy right now, and she even suspected that Robert had been kidnapped.

“Our golf course introduced this new policy recently, and it’s been widely praised by our customers. Our customers also understand this, so they typically have their matters arranged before coming here. That way, they won’t be kept from their private affairs,” the golf course manager explained to Heather.

However, Heather didn’t want to listen to this man’s nonsense anymore. She stepped up right away and subdued him immediately. She twisted his arm and threatened, “Take me to see my Grandpa.”

The man screamed in pain before he begged with an imploring look. “Please, my lady—you’re breaking my arm!” He never expected Heather to grab his hand with such tremendous strength. Before he could get a clear glimpse of what was happening, Heather had already subdued him.

Heather was particularly good at Judo since she liked subduing an opponent in one move. She tightened her grip on the manager, and he immediately screamed in pain. Then, she said fiercely, “How dare you keep wasting your breath? Take me there!”

“Ouch! My arm is breaking! Both your Grandpa and brother are here, but I can’t take you to them.” The golf course manager felt like he was on the brink of death, for Heather was torturing him completely. Instead of making it quick, she tightened her grip on him bit by bit—it was killing him slowly.

“Do you still want your arm? Take me there—I don’t want to repeat myself for the third time!” Heather threatened as she kept on tightening her grip. He certainly deserved this even if she ended up breaking his arm. I’ll level this place if he dares to kidnap Grandpa, she thought to herself. The more she thought about this, the angrier she felt.

Strangely enough, no one was seen in the golf course. Even though she hadn’t entered the area, it was truly strange that there wasn’t anyone outside to receive any guests. Heather was worried about Robert’s safety, and Blake didn’t emerge after going inside. However, she didn’t know who would be so audacious to do that.
